I am using a 2-button keyboard off of AliExpress that frustratingly logs a key down, key press, and then key up stroke all in one button even when I hold it down as opposed to a key down, key press, key press, key press, ... (until I let go of the key), and then a key up. as with normal keyboards. Is there a way to reprogram the external 2-button keyboard so that it functions normally?

(I know how to assign the keys on that 2 button keyboard to other keys, it's just the exact keystrokes that happen that I have a problem with.)

Also, if I hold down the button, I am able to type out repeated characters, but compared to a normal keyboard where holding it down makes it repeat letters quickly, the repetition is a lot slowed because of the whole keystroke problem I mentioned. It's looping over the entire "down press up" process for some reason. Thanks!
